She Looks Down and Laughs
She looks down and laughs
They look down and laugh
–While we thirst below with our dying tears–
From their perches above the sun
She looks down and laughs
They look down and laugh
At me at you
All of us deserted down here
With our sadnesses
And our ragged shoes
And our no love
She is pointing and laughing
And they are laughing with her
Her voice cuts right through
A laugh soaked in blood
In guts and blood
They all laugh and laugh
Laughing at us
Laughing from their perches
Their perches above the sun
